[Commotion-dev] [Commotion-discuss] Brick or Nanostation?

Triggering TFTP mode via the POE injector can be tricky, and is sometime
unreliable.  I'd recommend trying a different POE injector, if you have one
spare.  I've had the little reset button on older injectors just stop
working after some time.  Also, I believe only the UBNT 1Amp POE injectors
now have the reset button, not the stock injector provided with the
Nanostation.

Also, try holding down the reset button for longer, say 15 to 20 seconds.

Finally, if you are still not able to get the device into TFTP mode, you
can fashion your own reset switch by slicing cat5.  I believe the forum at
community.ubnt.com will have more info about that.
